A special little visitor landed at Ta’i Tamaiti ELC today 🐉✨
A dragonfly came in to rest, and the tamariki gathered for a closer look. Magnifying glasses in hand, they observed carefully, talked about what they noticed, and practised being gentle by looking without touching.
Moments like this spark curiosity, respect for nature, and real-life learning right in front of us. 🌿

Building, pulling things apart, and trying again. Simple play that helps grow focus, creativity, and confidence.
So good to see imagination at work 💛

Sun’s out, so we’re outside ☀️
👉 Sand pit adventures, bike rides around the yard, and playing with water.
💪 Messy, noisy, and a whole lot of fun.
This is how our tamariki learn, move, and enjoy the day 💛
🤔 What did you love doing on sunny days as a kid?
